A growth opportunity and just one month to secure the necessary financing. That was the challenge faced by a passenger transport company that Kaizen Consulting supported in the acquisition of a children’s leisure business.
The deposit agreement established a deadline for completing the purchase. Securing the funds within that timeframe was essential to closing the transaction.
The Challenge: Securing Financing Against a Tight Deadline
The challenge was twofold: obtaining the financing required for the acquisition and doing so in just 30 days.
This required speed, coordination and the ability to pursue several financing options simultaneously, while keeping the completion date firmly in focus.
The Solution: Creating Options to Select the Best Financing Structure
At Kaizen Consulting, we presented the transaction to several financial institutions and pursued multiple financing solutions in parallel.
Within 30 days, we secured combined financing offers from six institutions, exceeding the amount initially requested by 6.75%.
This surplus gave us the flexibility to compare the available options and select the most suitable combination for our client. Beyond securing the funds on time, we were able to structure the financing in a way that best matched the company’s needs.
The Result: Acquisition Completed with Multiple Financing Options
Our client was able to complete the acquisition before a notary within the deadline established in the deposit agreement.
The key results were:
- Deadline met: financing secured within 30 days.
- Financing offers exceeded the target: the total amount offered was 6.75% higher than requested, with six financial institutions involved.
- Greater flexibility: multiple options available to structure the financing according to the client’s needs.
This case demonstrates the value of having access to an extensive network of financing providers and the ability to coordinate different solutions when time is a critical factor.
At Kaizen Consulting, we work to secure the financing each business needs and structure it around its specific objectives.
